Why The Timberwolves Could Cover The Spread

The Timberwolves are simply waiting for this season to end so they can revamp this roster. Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards have been the only layers that have played consistently this season. With that being said, KAT missed some time with injuries and COVID issues.

D'Angelo Russell has returned for the Wolves after missing two months and provided a spark for the team that has stayed towards the bottom of the conference for the entire season.

Jaden McDaniels has shown promise in his first year in the league, and the suspension of Malik Beasley was devastating to a team that watched their head coach get fired halfway through the season.

However, KAT and Edwards are tough to deal with along with DLO. On the surface, the Clippers overmatch them in every way possible. On another note, the NBA this season has been insanely unpredictable and a huge game from KAT and Ant could lead this team to a victory.

Well, the good news is Kawhi Leonard is active for this game. The starting lineup of Reggie Jackson, Paul George, Leonard, Marcus Morris, and Ivica Zubac is far and away a better group than Minnesota.

The Clippers are fighting for a top seed in the playoffs while the Wolves aren't even the least bit worried about a playoff spot.

Leonard and George are impossible to guard for any team in the league. They had rattled off seven victories in a row before losing to the Philadelphia 76ers by three points on Friday night in a game that Leonard sat out.

They don't want to waste a chance to move up the standings and inch closer to the Phoenix Suns and Utah Jazz who are the top teams in the Western Conference.

Final Timberwolves-Clippers Prediction & Pick

The Clippers shouldn't have any issue getting past Minnesota in Sunday's contest. George and Leonard each score 2o-plus points and the Clippers win by at least 20 points as they rest their starters down the stretch of this game. Edwards and KAT provide good games for the Timberwolves, but it's not nearly enough.
